The Explorer pulled double duty on February 27. In the morning session Joseph Digiovanni for a great visit to the fish market; Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna were on the menu.
Then in the afternoon John Hislop came aboard. They released a Sailfish and brought home a Dorado.

The hard-fighting town of Philly was well-represented again on January 27 and Team Hislop returned to the blue water for more Marlin action.
Once again, this Blue Marlin release was backed-up with a hard-charging Dorado on ice.

Master Captain William led the charge on December 28th. Joined by members of the John Hislop group, the Wanderer tracked down a fast-moving school of Yellowfin Tunas (somewhat unusual for this time of year).
You can see in the photos that the Master Captain called in the rest of the local boats to work this school of fish; sharing is caring!

Captain Wilson reported four Yellowfin Tunas and a nice Sailfish release on December 28 for John Hislop’s group.
The Sailfish have been a little scarce recently, but hopefully this influx of Yellowfin Tuna to the feeding chain will coax the Sailfish back into the action.

John Hislop and hjs group are the next in line to represent North Carolina in our ongoing battle with bluewater billfish. These folks ain’t playing around either; have three trips planned this week and the first one brought a pair of wonderful Sailfish releases plus a decent Dorado for the dinner table.
This high-flying Sailfish hit the bait around 12:45 and before the clock struck 1 this bad boy was safely released. Very efficient fight coupled with excellent boat handling and a clean bill shot…all in a day’s work for the mighty Wanderer.
A half-hour later the Hislop party put this Dorado on ice. This is a great way to start your week in Nosara with filets ready to go.
The walk-off shot came just after 3pm when another mean Sailfish hit the hook.
This fight was intense and the fish was strong, but once again the Wanderer had a counter for every punch it could throw and achieved a clean release at 3:20pm
Let’s hope this is a sign of good things to come for these Tar Heel state anglers as they take two more trips to the blue water this week.
